Flip image, flip button?

[MarkoSato]

Hello,

I have a code where with a random chance of 50 % an image flips
"if random(1000)<500 then flip image who horizontal"
I want to do the same with a button(which has an image on it).
Is it possible? Because with the same code it said error.

Best regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

the icon of a button is only refreshed when you click the button.

To do what you want set the icon of the button to the id of the image you just flipped.

Like this

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   lock screen
   put random(1000) into tNumber
   if tNumber < 500 then 
      flip image "myImage" horizontal
      set the icon of button 1 to the id of image "myImage"
   end if
   unlock screen
end mouseUp

Kind regards
Bernd

you could also script

Code: Select all

 set the icon of button 1 to the icon of button 1

instead of the "id of image "myImage""

Hello,

This doesn't work like I want it to be (or I couldn't do it right).
I have a start button which spawns 1-10 random enemies. These enemies were images before so I had no problem flipping them.
When I clicked the start button, some of the enemies faced the right side and some the left side.
Now I changed the enemies to a button with the same image, but when you hover or click the button('enemy') the image changes[So it has a little effect].
Now I want to flip those random enemies but with that code you wrote, it flipped all the same, so either everyone got flipped, or none.
But I wanted it to be random so for example 3 are looking right, 4 are looking left.

Hope I could explain it well

Best regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

since icons in buttons with identical IDs always display the SAME image (no instance or whatever!)
and if you modify (flip in your case) that image, the cahnge will be reflected in all buttons that have
this images as icon!

Simply make a copy of your image and flip that one so you can use this as the "flipped" icon while
preserving the "original" unflipped image!
